"There was a gluten-free menu with many options available at the restaurant. The staff discussed with us what options we could have, but seemed a bit confused. While the rest of our group ordered a set meal, there was no set meal for gluten-free options, so we ordered starters and mains separately. This resulted in us waiting for food while everyone else ate. The duck starter was delicious, served with chili sauce instead of hoisin and lettuce leaves for wrapping. It was missing cucumber and spring onion, which the rest of our group had with their duck course. The main courses were tasty, including mango prawns, chicken, and vermicelli. When inquiring about gluten-free desserts, the waiter initially mentioned brownie cheesecake and another option, but upon further inquiry, he informed us that none of the desserts were gluten-free. Despite this confusion, the food was excellent and we are confident that the meals we were served were gluten-free, although it seemed that the waiters may not have fully understood the concept."

The restaurant offers a separate menu for gluten free options. The food was delicious and I felt confident in the safety of my meal.

The food was very tasty presented well and plenty to eat. We chose a set menu and ended not being able to finish the main meal. We left very satisfied indeed.

The food at this restaurant is delightful, the service is excellent, but it's on the pricey side. They are very accommodating when it comes to dietary restrictions.

Rude and grumpy, quite unwelcoming. Told dessert would take too long to make and was rushed out of the door. Dirty toilets. Average food, not authentic chinese but English-Chinese. Everything was Rashed and quite unpleasant.

This was our first visit and we will most definitely be going back. I would definitely tell my friends how much I enjoyed the Banquet. The restaurant was incredible busy but this did not impact the service. Service was amazing and food was delicious. Can’t wait to revisit.

Inedible food. Cheap and badly cooked food. Service was very poor. Waiters were novices. You felt that they just wanted you to eat the food and get out. Very impatient rushing you to order. Extortionate prices for the rubbish they called food. It ruined our evening. Please if you want good food DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE.
